- #62: The Defenders of Mariupol, Ukraine
One of Russian President Vladimir Putin's main goals in this year’s invasion of Ukraine was to quickly conquer the port city of Mariupol so that he could then devote more troops and resources to subduing Kyiv and the rest of the nation. But the defenders of Mariupol put up lionhearted resistance for months on end that defied all expectations and changed the course of the war. This episode looks at their remarkable and inspiring stand against evil.
29 min - #61: Regreening the Deserts
- China's Loess Plateau was anciently a lush area. But as more people made it their home, the demand for resources grew. Over the course of thousands of years, aggressive farming and overgrazing stripped away the vegetation almost entirely. This lead to severe soil erosion and eventually turned the Loess plateau into basically a denuded desert.
- In the mid 1990s, Chinese and foreign scientists and civil engineers surveyed this area to see if anything could be done to restore the land. The project that followed has implications for much of the planet.

33 min - #60: See Beyond
The Hubble Space Telescope was a game-changer, letting humankind peer back in time and tease mind-stretching secrets from the cosmos. But the James Webb Space Telescope—scheduled for launch into space later this year—promises to allow us see even further back. While Hubble was able to see what you could call toddler galaxies, the JWST will be able to look back 13.5 billion years and see infant galaxies—the first ones ever formed. It is expected to rewrite our astronomy textbooks in ways that we can’t yet even imagine.
UPDATE: NASA announced on June 1 that while it had been working toward an October 31, 2021 launch date, it will be delayed by a few weeks and instead take place in November or early December.

39 min - #59: Rejecting the Default
- Life is full of defaults. Many of them are so entrenched they are hard to even recognize as optional. "Few, indeed, ever stop to ask themselves in retrospect how they came to accept the beliefs that have found lodgment in their minds," the late Mr. Herbert Armstrong observed this in his book Mystery of the Ages. This episode takes a look at some of the defaults of life, and why we are prone to leave them unquestioned.

28 min - #54: The Woman Who Saved the Man Who Saved the World
Winston Churchill has been called history's greatest political watchman, and the man whose foresight saved the Western world during World War II. But would he have developed such phenomenal foresight and accomplished such a momentous feat if he hadn't been taught, nurtured and loved as a child? Churchill's parents almost totally neglected him. But the void they left was filled, as best it could be, by another figure—a person to whom each of us today owes a considerable debt of gratitude. This episode tells her story.

39 min - #53: Opening a ‘Rare Window’ Into the Heavens
- As the world continues through this surreal year, it's an excellent time for us to study what Hubble has shown us since its launch—30 years ago this month. In this episode, we also look ahead to Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, which will launch next March. These incredible projects mean the cosmos's breathtaking message is now displayed with unprecedented clarity. Do you see what it is showing us?
